You have certainly made a mess of making google searches. They should flush all your posts so anyone wanting to search your latest interest might find rational information.
Hard to cooperate or understand when you make up acronyms apparently out of thin air and then demand that they be defined and explained. It is the kind of scenario that would make a good scene on Monty Python.
If "EDTN" is really an acronym that you didn't make up yourself, tell us where you saw it. Even better trace it back through the context yourself. You might learn something about research instead of asking everyone else to do it for you.

Where did you hear of your particular combination of letters? Isn't that a good place to start if you want to track down its meaning? You seem to have an idea that it's a kind of telephone service for people with a particular disability. That's pretty specific. What makes you think so?

Don't believe everything you read. Baudot code was a five-bit code for a teletype-like machine (with two modal shift characters so some keys had three meanings). CCITT was a standards organization, now superceded. For all I know, Baudot may have been the subject of one of their standards.
What gives you an idea that EDTN has anything to do with deafness? If it does, it may be similar to TTY/TDD in the U.S.

It's the European Deaf Telephone (Network) that is used in a few European countries - Germany and Switzerland for example. It uses V21 modulation, but only one channel, and runs at 110 baud.
Took me less than 5 minutes to find using a search engine - the OP couldn't have been trying too hard. -- Ian

Using *_ONLY_* information from his "Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:04:03 -0700" post and spending approximately 10 minutes with Google I came up with 10 URL's of agencies/firms which would be able to answer ANY legitimate question or be willing/able to "tell him where to go" [intentional double entendre]. The majority of sources are either commercial or governmental sites. Remainder appear to be charitable sites.
All he would probably need would be a cogent reason for asking.
